In September 2000, we first presented this paper as the keynote address at a
three-day symposium.... to the Sea of Cortes: nature, water, culture, and livelihood
in the Lower Colorado River Basin and Delta, in Riverside, California, jointly
sponsored by the Ford Foundation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency -
Region 9, the U.S. Department of the Interior, UC MEXUS, the University of
California Office of the President, the Morris K. Udall Foundation, and the Centro de
Investigaci6n y de Educaci6n Superior de Ensenada (CICESE).
We are grateful for comments and suggestions made by John M. Bernal, Marta

Malissa McKeith, Robert F. Snow. William H. Swan, Alberto Szdkely, and Martha P. L.
Witaker. Edina Strum, class of 2002, James E. Rogers College of Law, the University

M. Massaro, of the James E. Rogers College of Law at the University of Arizona, for
financial support. In preparing the manuscript for publication, it was a pleasure to
work with Ecology Law Quarterly's Ryan Waterman.
Finally, Peter Culp owes a particularly deep debt of gratitude to Luther Propst
and Steve Cornelius of the Sonoran Institute, who hired Mr. Culp - then a first-year
law student - to write a report on the Law of the River and the limitations it would
impose on water transfers to the Colorado River Delta. This report was awarded the
2000 Lillian S. Fischer Prize in Environmental Law and Public Policy by the Udall
Center for Studies in Public Policy. The Udall Center subsequently published an
expanded version of the report, and generously funded the development of a
summary version of the Sonoran Institute Report for the benefit of participants at the
September 2000 symposium.... to the Sea of Cortes: nature, water, culture, and
livelihood in the Lower Colorado River Basin and Delta, in Riverside, California.
